In the past 17 years the list of names, teams, and coaches that have come through the Lehigh Valley Hoop Group Showcase has been nothing short of amazing. Hoop Group continued the strong tradition with 4 matchups featuring teams from NJ, NY, and PA.

The Allentown locals flooded the box office early, programs in hand, and set for a day filled with competitive high school basketball.

The stage was set as senior laden Council Rock North Indians were set to clash with the young guns of Allentown Central Catholic.

The two teams exchanged baskets early but senior tandem of Aaron Morgan and Aaron Goodman proved to be too much for the Vikings.

For 17 years the Lehigh Valley Hoop Group Showcase has been bringing some of the best high school basketball to Allentown, PA.

Buzz swirled around the arena as Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim walked into the arena to take in the third game of the day.

The talented trio of Tyler Ennis, Isaiah Briscoe, and Melvin Johnson of St. Benedict’s were set to take on the dynamic duo of Savon Goodman and Daiquan Walker of Constitution.

It was all St. Benedict’s in this one 83-60.

Isaiah Briscoe provided the spark early scoring 6 points in the first quarter. Melvin Johnson picked it up in the 2nd quarter scoring 15 of his team high 27 points, and big man Isaiah Watkins sealed it scoring all of his 8 points in the 4th quarter.

Constitution’s Savon Goodman wooed the crowd a few times with some highlight reel dunks in scoring his game high 28 points but the Warriors could never really get going against the Grey Bees.
